  1. Optimization

Tungsten

Tungsten is a new Spark SQL component that provides more efficient Spark operations by working directly at the byte level. Tungsten includes specialized in-memory data structures tuned for the types of operations required by Spark, improved code generation, and a specialized wire protocol.

Tungsten’s representation is substantially smaller than objects serialized using Java or even Kryo serializers. As Tungsten does not depend on Java objects, both on-heap and off-heap allocations are supported. Not only is the format more compact, but serialization times can be substantially faster than with native serialization.
